[Wine] Problem with UK financial program

[John French]

I have been trying for some time to run a British financial program, 
called ShareScope, under Wine. It is the sole remaining reason for me to 
run Windows, so I am keen to succeed. The developers of the program 
claim to have run it successfully under Wine, but they don't provide 
support. Since this is a minority interest, I will have to solve it 
myself, but I'm stuck !

My Linux system is Ubuntu 5.10.  When I try to start ShareScope, it 
brings up the splash screen, and the blue bar starts to march across, 
but stops about half way, with the error message :

sizeof(RADEONDRIRec) == 100, devPrivSize 100
fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 4116 
(SPI_GETSELECTIONFADE)

I have been hunting the forums, and Googling for help, to no avail. 
Please can someone give me some advice ?
